    One day, Ravi, Mohan, and Sonu decided to spend a night in the haunted mansion to unravel its mystery.

    As dusk fell, the three friends mustered courage and entered the mansion. The inside was dark, and spider webs hung everywhere.

    Suddenly, the mansion's door slammed shut, causing the friends to shudder in fear. However, they managed to control their fear and ventured deeper.

    Upon entering the first room, they noticed an old swing moving on its own. A sudden burst of laughter echoed around, scaring them all.

    Sonu turned off the radio and they all heaved a sigh of relief. Then, they moved towards the staircase to explore the upper rooms.

    In one of the rooms, there was a large cupboard shaking on its own. Mohan opened it and a skeleton fell out, making them scream in horror.

    Ravi noticed a motor attached to the skeleton and realized it was a prank. 'This is someone's mischief,' he said. 'Someone is trying to scare us.'

    Suddenly, an old man appeared and said, 'You have discovered the secret of my haunted mansion. I am the owner and I did all this to keep people away.'

    The friends breathed a sigh of relief and asked, 'But why did you do this?' The old man replied, 'This mansion is connected to my wife's memories. I didn't want anyone to destroy it.'

    Ravi, Mohan, and Sonu decided to help the old man. They explained the truth to the villagers and together, they renovated the mansion and turned it into a beautiful tourist spot.

    The incident taught the friends that fear is a creation of our mind. When we confront our fear, we discover the truth.

    They also learned that helping others and understanding their pain is the greatest human virtue. Fear and laughter are part of life, but with the right perspective, we can solve any problem.
